tRump doesn’t want elections anymore. His administration's disabling protections, taking over voter rolls, & rigging certification. He flat-out said we 'shouldn’t even have an election.' It's election subversion in real time. Turn out in record numbers to stop it.

But of course this is OK because Republicans love to socialize the costs and privatize the rewards. When debt is created by Republicans its a good thing; if the Democrats ever gain power, boy will the Republicans howl about the unsustainable debt!

Its a stupid game that can only work in a country full of racists.

T••••’s trying to straddle competing impulses with the bribe jet: using the luxury ride and showing off the bribe he begged for, vs. keeping it for personal use and bypassing the prez security upgrades he won’t need later.

The best kind of ice cream is one that you like and that your partner hates.
